We purchased 2 hyundai elantras 2006 models in may 2006 as gifts for our daughters. Within 1 week or less, the phone charger in the car was not working on either car. They replaced the fuses in each vehicle and told us that when we charge the phones, they should be plugged in prior to starting the car in order to keep the fuses from "blowing". 13 oct 2006 - 1 of my daughters blew a fuse and replaced it per their protocol. She plugged in her cell phone to charge and the cranked her car. The fuse blew again.
My 2006 hyundai elantra manufactured in korea in december 2005 falls outside the hyundai recalls for defective brake light switches (it is not a puerto rican-made 2006, or a 2007+ elantra covered by recalls), but uses the same defective part # (93810-3k000) under recall, as detailed in TSB 09-01-018. My car's brake lights failed to work, giving only 0.5v to the bulb sockets when brakes were applied.
